: Keep Java Updated :WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The
Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable
JavaSee

this article.
I would recommend that you completely uninstall
Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you
disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See
How to diasble Java in your web browser and
How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install
